OJ-Iba Urges Unity, Supports Oyo Government’s Efforts, Calls for Safe Return of Oriire Abductees During Eid
As Muslims across our communities celebrate the blessed occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all Muslim faithful in Ibadan South West Local Government and beyond. May this sacred season bring peace, mercy and strengthen the spirit of sacrifice, compassion, and unity among us all.
However, this year’s celebration comes with heavy hearts.
While families gather in joy and thanksgiving, our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims, families, and entire community affected by the heartbreaking tragedy in Oriire, Ogbomoso, where innocent children were abducted and teachers lost their lives in a painful act that has shaken us deeply.
Eid reminds us not only of celebration but of humanity, sacrifice, and standing together in difficult times. At moments like this, we must remember those who cannot celebrate freely, those grieving loved ones, and those still waiting for the safe return of their children.
I sympathise with H.E. Engr. Seyi Makinde (F.N.S.C) and pray that his efforts in strengthened security within the state should not be jeopardised by enemies of peace all in the name of politics.
I join H.E and countless voices calling for justice and collective action to protect our schools, children, teachers, and communities. I believe that security and safety of our people must remain a shared responsibility and a top priority which must be politicised.
As we mark this holy season, let us offer prayers for comfort to grieving families, hope to those in distress, and strength to all working tirelessly to restore peace and safety.
May Allah (SWT) accept our sacrifices, answer our prayers, and grant our land peace, protection, and prosperity.
Eid Mubarak to all Muslim faithful.
